Default Re: random stuff you have memorized

Romeo's monologue:

But soft, what light through yonder window breaks.
It is the east and Juliet is the sun.
Arise fair sun, and kill the envious moon
who is already sick and pale with grief
that thou, her maid, art far more fair than she
be not her maid, since she is envious
her vestal livery is sick and green
and none but fools do wear it.
Cast it off. It is my lady,
Oh it is my love. Oh that she knew she were.
She speaks yet she says nothing, what of that?
Her eye discourses, I will answer it.
I am too bold, tis not to me she speaks.
Two of the fairest stars in all the heavens
having some business, do entreat her eyes
to twinkle in their spheres til they return.
What if her eyes were there, they in her head
The brightness of her cheeks would shame those stars
as daylight doth a lamp.
See how she leans her cheek upon her hand,
Oh that I were a glove upon that hand
that I might touch that cheek!

Part of Thanatopsis:

So live that when thy summons comes to join
the innumerable caravan that moves
to that mysterious realm where each
shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death
thou go not like the quarry slave at night
scrourged to his dungeon but sustained and soothed
by an unfaltering trust approach thy grave
like one who wraps the drapery of his couch
about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.

Probably a lot of other useless stuff...
